### Become a Key Player as a Vision Measurement Engineer

You will develop, validate, and document automated inspection programs that ensure consistent, repeatable measurement for production and quality control. You will partner closely with manufacturing engineering, quality, and operations stakeholders to increase throughput, improve measurement consistency, and support traceability. Work arrangement: On-site preferred during programming, setup, and validation.

### Here's How You'll Make an Impact on the Team

- Create, configure, and optimize inspection/measurement programs for Keyence IM-X1000 series systems.

- Translate engineering drawings, GD&T, and inspection plans into robust measurement routines for dimensions, angles, radii, diameters, profiles, and positional relationships.

- Establish part fixturing and orientation methods to support consistent, repeatable inspections.

- Compare automated results with approved reference methods (CMM, hand gauges, optical comparator, or calibrated master parts) and validate programs through repeatability studies.

- Troubleshoot program issues including lighting, edge-detection, focus, part-presentation, and measurement-repeatability problems.

- Develop setup sheets, program documentation, work instructions, and operator training materials.

- Coordinate with stakeholders to prioritize parts and complete programs per the agreed project schedule.

- Follow applicable quality-system, calibration, safety, and document-control requirements.

### Here's What You'll Need to Be Successful in This Role

- Hands-on experience programming and operating Keyence IM series or similar vision systems.

- Experience developing automated dimensional inspection routines for machined or purchased metal components.

- Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent).

- Working knowledge of metrology principles, tolerance analysis, measurement uncertainty, and measurement-system analysis.

- Experience with Gage R&R, capability studies, and validation of inspection methods.

- Ability to create practical fixturing and standardized setup methods for repeatable production inspections.

- Strong problem-solving skills for vision-based measurement (lighting, contrast, edge detection, part variation).

- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and standard documentation tools.

- Ability to work independently while communicating progress, risks, and technical recommendations clearly.

### Here's What Else Might Help You Out

- Associate's or bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Quality Engineering, or related discipline (or equivalent experience).

- Experience in regulated or high-quality manufacturing environments such as aerospace, industrial manufacturing, medical devices, automotive, or fluid-power products.
